REPORT AND HIGHLIGHTS: Mixed first day at Edgbaston for Sussex

29-Aug-2013

Sussex had a mixed first day against Warwickshire at Edgbaston. After opening up with a partnership of 121 by Chris Nash and Luke Wells, they lost seven wickets in making the next 74 in which emergency loanee Maurice Chambers took 3-51 in 21 overs.

It was only a timely intervention by Chris Jordan, in his first innings since his selection for England's one-day squad, that got them up to 278 for seven at the close.

The all-rounder played responsibly for an unbeaten 58, reaching his second first-class fifty of the season from 89 balls while putting on an unbroken 83 with the equally resourceful Will Beer.
